loop devices in CT still not allowed ?
type: item
description: Hello everybody. I'm sorry to dig something that was already corrected before, but I got some errors I don't manage to take care of alone. I'm running a SLES11.1 host and a SLES11.1 CT. First (minor) problem is that services are not started when I start a CT. I have to start them manually after each boot. (Runlevel retuns "unknown" in the CTs) Second (the error I wrote this mail for): vzctl set --devices|--devnodes: do not allow to enable loop devices in CT was a bug corrected in version 3.0.29 according to this page: http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/vzctl/3.0.29 I've tried: vzctl set 404 --devnodes loop0:rw on version 3.1 without success (returning this: Device loop0 is not allowed to be assigned to a CT Bad parameter for --devnodes: loop0:rw ), and got exactly the same result with version 3.3 BLK_DEV_LOOP is compiled inside the openvz kernel (2.6.32 vanilla + 042stab049.6 patch), so it's not a problem of the loop module not loading on startup. Why is this loop device problem bothering me ? Because every time I want to install a package that has a dependency which can be resolved by an rpm from the ISO, the package manager can't mount the ISO to use these rpms. I hope you can help me a little on these cases, otherwise I'll have to stick with these hacks on a prod server, which would not be great. I'll answer all questions I can answer :) Thank you very much ! LLoyd
